It depends...
For a when-validate-item trigger to fire, you must have your validation-unit property on the form set to Item, and you must enter something in the item. If you have not entered any data into the item or changed existing queried data in the item, the trigger will not fire.
You can force the WVI trigger to fire every time by setting the item's value to its current value in a when-new-item-instance trigger: :Blk.Item1 := :Blk.Item1;
If you set the Required item-level property to true, the form will require you to enter something into the item if you try to click into a different item with the mouse. But if you use Shift-Tab to leave the item, then the required flag is ignored.
